As I was listening to Zappa’s Apostrophe(’) (highly recommended on a snow-blown Sunday morning) ,I was reading the long biography. But when the music ended, the text of the bio also disappeared, but I hadn’t finished reading it yet! Is there any way to read the metadata without a track playing?
I dont think so. Just repeat one or two tracks 
woops, sorry theBio you can of course look up on the artist page, I thought about the record summary…
Thanks, Marin and bbrip, it is indeed that simple. You can even access it from the artist’s page without playing any tracks (at least on Roon via PC; will try tablet). I tend to overlook the obvious…
